Red Hat 7.3 Update


Does anyone know any mirror to update the Red Hat 7.3?
I used the mirror of www.blagblagblag.org configured at yum to update but after I tried to install the latest version of firefox many libs depencies problems started.
How can I make a full update of Red Hat 7.3 to be able to use any software avaiable nowadays?

PS: I wonīt change the version of OS.

Basically, you can't.

You can try to install the latest versions of software from source (I doubt you will get RPMs), but this will lead to a dependency hell. To install the latest software, you will need all the latest libraries, etc.

I strongly recommend upgrading. I saw your other post saying that this is a development workstation, but it may well be worth upgrading to something more recent in the long run.
